Our Website of the Month this month is Crew Nation (https://www.livenationentertainment.com/crewnation), an offshoot of the Live Nation ticket site.
As Live Nation explains, "Live music inspires millions around the world, but the concerts we all enjoy wouldn’t be possible without the countless crew members working behind the scenes. As COVID-19 puts concerts on pause, we want to extend a helping hand to the touring and venue crews who depend on shows to make a living.
Crew Nation was created to do just that.
Crew members are the backbone of the live music industry, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting them through this temporary intermission until we can once again unite millions around the world through the power of live music. Crew Nation is powered by Music Forward Foundation, a charitable 501c3 organization, that will be administering the fund.
Live Nation has committed $10 million to Crew Nation – contributing an initial $5 million to the fund, then matching the next $5 million given by artists, fans and employees dollar for dollar."
One can support this important cause by either donating directlx or alternatively by purchasing Crew Nation apparel and merchandise. All proceeds go directly to the fund.
